A single, integrated software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package. solution, iCluster mirrors critical data in real-time from a primary iSeries system to one or more recovery systems and ensures high speed operational switching in the event of an outage. iCluster includes an intuitive Java graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to to manage iSeries clusters as well as provide enhanced data and application resiliency. This solution also enables users to define nodes in a cluster, mirror data and other critical objects to specific nodes, and monitor the entire cluster from a single station. As DataMirror's flagship resiliency solution, iCluster raises the bar for availability features and functionality. New features of iCluster 2.0 include: Full support for IFS file mirroring - Many customers maintain millions of large byte stream In computer science, a byte stream is a bit stream, in which data bits are grouped into units, called bytes. In computer networking the term octet stream is sometimes used to refer to the same thing; it emphasizes the use of bytes having the length of 8 bits, known as files (BSF BSF B lymphocyte stimulatory factor. ) within the OS/400 Integrated File System (IFS) that are created and deleted but are never actually updated. iCluster 2.0 enables companies to efficiently replicate these BSF objects without the additional overhead of journaling. Customers can also perform sync checks to ensure that BSF objects are synchronized between primary and recovery systems. Real-time mirroring of both journaled and non-journaled IFS files enables highly efficient processing of image files and document management applications such as those used by customers in the health care and insurance industries. Fully integrated remote journaling support - Customers have the flexibility to choose either remote journaling or DataMirror's highly efficient journal scrape transport method, depending on their specific environment and high availability requirements. Enhanced trigger support - Customers that utilize the enhanced external trigger functionality in OS/400 V5R1 can rest assured that all of their trigger information will be fully replicated in real time. Triggers are kept current on the backup system in a disabled state, and can be rapidly enabled upon switchover switch·o·ver n. A complete shift, as from one system to another. or failover. This ensures that packaged and custom-coded applications utilizing triggers are thoroughly backed up and available in the event of an outage.
